As to the subject at hand, obviously it’s a difficult issue. I think that it’s hardly shocking that if you look at places rich in middle-class blacks, you’ll find them preforming at the same level as whites. There are no differences in base capabilities, so OF COURSE they do equally well. Give a child a two-parent home (or one parent VERY invested in education) in a safe neighborhood with an environment that thinks you’re better becoming a lawyer than a basketball player, and you’ll get a regular crop of college-bound kids.

One of the causes of the Asian kids dominating the AP classes is that white are started avoiding them because to the competative nature of the classes.

I’m no racist, Austin, so don’t even start making false charges about me when I state that what Superdestroyer wrote is true elsewhere, such as in Cupertino, CA (in the Santa Clara Valley, or “Silicon Valley” near San Jose), which was the subject of an article in the Wall Street Journal, where I learned of it originally.

“Whites aren’t quitting the schools because the schools are failing academically. Quite the contrary: Many white parents say they’re leaving because the schools are too academically driven and too narrowly invested in subjects such as math and science at the expense of liberal arts and extracurriculars like sports and other personal interests.

The two schools, put another way that parents rarely articulate so bluntly, are too Asian.”

Read it yourself if you are still in denial.

Yet, the all AP high school, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is 33.6% Asian-American and only 55% white. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_High_School_For_Science_and_Technology

Now what is the racist part of pointing out the differences.
